Whatever your size of pool, you need to keep the swimming pool water in a suitable condition to swim in. This can be done in several ways but one of the most common is by using the various types of swimming pool chemicals.
Different size pools can be treated in different ways depending on the type of dosing equipment you have. However, the process is, in principle the same for any size swimming pool in the sense that you are trying to achieve the same thing which is clean water. The basic methods of treating your water can be applied to domestic swimming pools including above ground pools such as those which are available from Bestway.
We have tried to provide you with enough information on this site to get you started with treating your pool. Hopefully, if you read all of the pages on this site you will have a good overview of the main types of swimming pool chemicals and how they are used. However, you should always check with your supplier regarding the specific details for the use of the swimming pool chemicals you have bought from them.
Although there are many ways of treating swimming pools, the use of chlorine is probably the most common. When using chlorine as the pool treatment, the chemicals you will use can be grouped into four groups which are listed below.
Sanitizers – these are the chlorines which help to kill and break down the nasties
Algaecides – works with the chlorine to kill the algae
Water balance – pH plus and pH minus to keep the acidity of the pool neutral
Flocculants – these help to coagulate the waste products into larger lumps so that the filter can filter them out.
